No time to waste on industry leadership for packaging sustainability

If there’s one thing that the past decade has taught the global packaging industry, it is that achieving the Holy Grail of truly sustainable packaging will not happen in isolation or through incremental measures.

The share of global greenhouse gas emissions generated by the global food supply chain.

And while the backlash against the science of Climate Change and global warming during the four years of the last U.S. administration has certainly played a role in lulling some business sectors into a sense of smug complacency and apathy about the planet’s environmental woes, it is reassuring to see the new decade start o with some encouraging signs that the world’s leading producers and users of consumer packaging largely remain on the same page in their ongoing e orts to reduce their respective carbon footprints.

In this context, the renowned Swedish-Swiss aseptic packaging products manufacturer Tetra Pak’s approach to making all-inclusive cross-industry collaboration work for greater good is a promising sign that the idea of truly sustainable carbon-neutral packaging is not just an idealistic pipe dream.

Celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, Tetra Pak has been at the forefront of global sustainability movement long before the term sustainable packaging even became widely adopted in industry circles.

With a broad variety of Tetra Pak’s signature paperboard drink cartons used worldwide to package and sell a vast array of liquid and viscous food-and-beverage products as an alternative to conventional metal, glass, plastic packaging—all requiring vast amounts of energy and non-renewable resources to produce—the sincerity of the company’s commitment to environmental responsibility is beyond doubt.

Which is all the more reason to give the company credit for spearheading a new approach to accelerating the development of sustainable packaging through a new “collaborative innovation model” that is no longer based solely on satisfying requirements of the traditional linear supply chain, but rather, “A new partnership ecosystem model, where the entire industry works in close collaboration.”

So far, thisTetra Pak-led initiative has got o to a promising start by drawing the allegiance of global corporate heavyweights such as the Finnish paper product group Stora Enso, leading Brazilian papermaker Klabin and Swedish-based paperboard

packaging producer BillerudKorsnäs, with many others expected to follow suit.

According to UN (United Nations)’s Emission Gaps Report of 2019, the global food system accounts for 26 per cent of global GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions and, to make things worse, a third of that food is either lost or wasted somewhere in that supply chain.

While energy, farming, processing and distribution of food account for the lion’s share of those emissions, packaging does not, nor should it, get a free pass.

For all its lauded virtues, the Tetra Pak carton itself is far from a perfect ﬁnished article from a sustainability perspective, as the company readily acknowledges.

“The challenges the industry faces include removing the thin layers of plastic and aluminum [and] replacing them with plant or wood ﬁber-based materials; developing a renewable alternative to the plastic straw, and improving the recyclability of packages,” says Tetra Pak’s vice-president of development and engineering Laurence Mott .

As Mott points out, there are plenty of opportunities to improve food packaging’s environmental proﬁle through lightweight packaging and e cient design to reduce wasted space during transportation; shifting to renewable energy across all operations; and optimizing processing operations through automation and other e ciencies.

“By taking these steps to reduce GHG emissions, the packaging industry could help limit the global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels,” Tetra Pak says.

According to the UN, “Limiting global warming to 1.5°C as opposed to 2°C could have signiﬁcant positive e ects, reducing the number of people exposed to climate-related risks and susceptible to poverty by up to several hundred million by 2050.”

Unfortunately, as things stand right now the global warming could rise up by 4.1°C by the end of the century, with catastrophic consequences for humanity and the planet’s well-being.

And that would be a crime of the century for which the current global political and economic elite would forever be held in infamy and contempt by future generations, alas, for all the right reasons.

Leading CPG brands and retailers agree to follow new Golden Rules for more sustainable packaging design

More than 20 leading Canadian retail and consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies, representing a substantial proportion of the nation’s plastic packaging, are among the ﬁrst to support new global ‘Golden Design Rules’ to improve plastics recycling and reduce landﬁll and pollution.

The rules acknowledge the importance of plastic packaging for food quality and safety, while encouraging companies industry-wide to make packaging decisions that better support recycling systems.

In addition to keeping plastic out of landﬁll and nature, designing packaging to be more recyclable is an important ﬁrst step in

converting a take-make-waste linear economy into a Circular Economy, where all the ingredients of plastic packaging are captured and reused.

The Golden Design Rules were established and announced last December by members of The Consumer Goods Forum (CGF)’s Plastic Waste Coalition of Action—an alliance of some of the world’s largest retail and consumer brands—based on voluntary 2025 targets and a common vision of a world where no plastic waste ends up in nature, land or sea.

The initial rules focus on two core priorities:

Golden Rule 1.

• Increase value in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycling, with PET acknowledged as one of the most commonly used plastic materials;

• Use transparent and uncolored PET (preferred), or transparent blue or green in all PET bottle;

• Ensure material choice, adhesive choice and size of sleeve or label is not problematic for recycling. This rule applies to all PET bottles in food and non-food applications, including beverages, home care products, personal care products, and more.

Golden Rule 2.

Remove problematic elements from packaging including:

• Undetectable carbon black, which frustrates plastics sorting and is sent to landﬁll;

• PVC or PVDC (polyvinylidene chloride or polyvinylidene dichloride), which are problematic in recycling streams;

• EPS or PS (expanded polystyrene or polystyrene) which have more recyclable alternatives;

• PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol) which contaminates batches of otherwise valuable PET recycling;

• Oxo-degradable plastics, which fragment into microplastics.

According to the coalition, many packaging products today include materials that make recycling impossible or very di cult, which is a major reason that more plastic is not being recycled as well as it can be.

Companies supporting the new Golden Rules in Canada already include Amcor, Barilla Group, Coca-Cola Canada, Colgate Palmolive, Danone Canada, Essity, Henkel Canada, Johnson & Johnson Consumer Health, Kraft Heinz Canada, Loblaw Companies, Maple Leaf Foods, Mars Canada, Metro, Mondelez Canada, Nestlé Canada, PepsiCo Canada, RB, Save-On-Foods, SC Johnson Canada, Unilever Canada, and Walmart Canada

According to the coalition, one reason why plastic packaging ends up in nature is due to the complexity of the recycling process, which can be complicated by poor packaging design, the inclusion of problematic materials, and the presence of excess packaging.

“Retailers and consumer product companies represent about on- third of Canada’s plastic waste,” says Galen Weston, executive chairman of Loblaw Companies Limited and a co-sponsor of the global Plastic Waste Coalition of Action, alongside Unilever’s chief executive o cer Alan Jope.

“That means we should be at least a third of the solution, Weston states. “We design, make and sell the products, so by making impactful packaging decisions we can keep plastics in the value chain and out of nature.”

Adds Nestlé Canada president and chief executive o cer Je Hamilton: “Nestlé is pleased to join our industry colleagues in supporting the Golden Rules, which align with our commitment to reducing unnecessary plastics and ensuring all of our packaging is reusable or recyclable by 2025.

“Agreeing to key principles around how to design for recycling is the critical ﬁrst step in ensuring none of our packaging ends up in nature,” Hamilton says.

According to the coalition—whose worldwide members generate combined revenues over $1 trillion and account for over 10 percent of the global packaging market—most of its members have committed to adopting the Golden Rules wherever possible by 2025. By then, consumers will be able to see the impact of these changes as everyday products like single-use bottles, toiletries, household cleaning supplies, food wrappers and take-away containers will be packaged in materials that can be recycled more easily.

Netpak doubling down on capital investment

Montreal-based paperboard packaging producer Netpak Packaging has completed several capital upgrade projects at its Montreal production plant, estimated at over $2 million, boosting production capacity of the facility’s ﬁnishing departments by over 30 per cent.

Allowed to operate during the COVID-19 pandemic as a designated essential business, the privately-owned company has installed a new MasterFold A2 1110 model folder-gluer, equipped with a SpeedWave module, and a new high-performance Spanthera 106-LER die-cutter.

Supplied by the renowned Swiss-based printing press and converting machinery manufacturer Bobst Group, both high-performance machines have been fully integrated with Netpak’s existing ERP (enterprise resource planning), MRP (manufacturing resource planning) and WMS (warehouse management system) operating software to ensure optimal performance and networking beneﬁts.

“Netpak has remained operational as an essential business and at full capacity throughout the pandemic to serve our strategic partners,” says Netpak’s cofounder Carlo Cammalleri.

“Throughout the current circumstances surrounding COVID-19, our incredible dedicated employees have stepped up their e orts,” he states.

“It is thanks to them that we are able to make a series of investments and continue to surpass our objectives year after year.”

Netpak says the new investment underscores its continued commitment to innovation, automation and technology.

As the company explains, the new MasterFold A2 1110 folder-gluer o ers signiﬁcant performance advantages that include aroundthe-clock speed, automated technology, e ciency, remarkable versatility, and exceptional quality of its straight line boxes, and non-stop production at increased speeds, as well as a high degree of automation.

In addition to its e ciency, the new MasterFold is equipped with a SpeedWave module that has allows Netpak to save a tremendous amount of make-ready or changeover times when needing to set up the machine for other styles of boxes.

According to Netpak, the addition of this machine has enabled a signiﬁcant production capacity increase in the ﬁnal stages of production—more than doubling the output of the increasingly popular hymes-bottom (auto-locking) style boxes.

For its part, the Bobst SPanthera 106-LER die-cutter is a remarkably versatile and powerful machine that performs precise cutting, stripping and blanking in one pass at exceptionally high speeds, according to Netpak’s other co-founder Salvatore Novello.

“Since its installation and integration in the plant, it has allowed Netpak to stay ahead of the competition thanks to its remarkable productivity, simpliﬁed operation and superior-quality cutting,” Novello relates.

“The competition in the printing and packaging industry is the ﬁercest it has ever been,” Novello states.

“What sets Netpak apart from competitors is our speed-to-market capabilities, e cient production times, information system and traceability,” says Novello, noting the company will soon be adding Bobst’s automatic Cartonpak case-packing module to the new MasterFold folder-gluer, which will automatically ﬁll shipping boxes with the ﬁnished carton blanks.

BIG THINGS COME IN light packages

BIG THINGS COME

“Investing in new equipment, has allowed Netpak to remain a leader in the folding-carton industry and to take folding-carton packaging to a new advanced technological level,” says Novello, citing Netpak’s important industry certiﬁcations that enabled the company to expand its customer base in the food industry, including the highly-coveted BRCGS (Brand Reputation Compliance Golden Standards) Grade AA certiﬁcation of the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI)

“We are proud to be amongst the first printing and packaging companies in North America to have obtained the BRCGS certification and, more importantly, to have obtained this certification for six consecutive years,” adds Netpak’s chief operating o cer Georges Berbari.

Every time a recyclable item is placed inside the bin, ReZound will play music, a fun sound e ect, or encouraging words to make recycling an interactive and a rewarding personal experience.

Once the device is attached to the bin, every recyclable object that is put into that bin, like a bottle or a can, will trigger the device’s sensor to produce a positive audible signal

Designed for quick installation in nearly any recycling bin, the ReZound device comes pre-loaded with 20 recycling-themed sound clips to activate what TerraCycle calls “gamiﬁed” interaction with the consumer.

With a weather- and tamper-resistant design and the option for a solar-powered charging function, ReZound devices are functional anywhere, allowing recycling bins to be placed outdoors with little requiredmmaintenance or supervision.

The ReZound device can also be customized with sounds to bring excitement to recycling in a variety of public locations like ofﬁces; stadiums; parks and recreational centers; schools and college campuses; music venues and event centers; theme parks and

Corporate milestones come in di erent shapes and sizes, but sometimes the sheer size of the accomplishment is an overwhelming conﬁrmation of extraordinary success.

For Swiss-based aseptic beverage cartons manufacturer SIG, selling more than 150 million SIGNATURE brand aseptic cartons in just three years is a remarkable feat for the company and a giant step in accelerated progress in the development of sustainable packaging solutions.

Launched in 2017, SIG’s innovative SIGNATURE packaging material links the polymers used to 100-percent forest-based renewable materials via an independently certiﬁed mass balance system.

By selecting tall oil—a residue extracted from wood in the papermaking process—as the forest-based feedstock, SIG is working with a byproduct from another industry rather than an agricultural crop requiring land and resources that could be used to produce food.

Compared to other competing drink boxes out in the market, the SIGNATURE cartons also use dramatically less aluminum in their closures to provide the required barrier protection from oxygen.

“At TerraCycle, we are constantly innovating new ways to drive our mission to ‘Eliminate the Idea of Waste’,” says TerraCycle founder and chief executive o cer Tom Szaky. “ReZound offers a fun, engaging way to educate and motivate more people to recycle and reduce waste in their communities.”

The sweet sound of recycling SIG makes Signature statement

SIG has now sold over 150 million packs of its award-winning SIGNATURE, the world’s first aseptic carton packaging material linked up to 100-percent renewable materials.

packaging material linked to 100-percent forest-based renewable material, while the SIGNATURE Full Barrier packs come with an ultra-thin layer of aluminum, certiﬁed under the Aluminum Stewardship Initiative (ASI) standards,

to protect products like orange juice, which are more sensitive to light and oxygen.

Made with around 75-percent renewable paperboard from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council)-certiﬁed sustainable sources, paperboard beverage cartons already o er a signiﬁcantly better environmental performance than alternative types of packaging, according to SIG, boasting 70-perecent lower carbon footprint than plastic or glass bottles.

But by virtually doing away with

aluminum content, the SIGNATURE packs reduce the carbon footprint of carton packs by another 45 to 58 per cent, according to SIG, depending on the selected option.

“SIG’s ground-breaking SIGNATURE is a great success, with over 150 million packs sold,” says Alina Theissen Hageresch, SIG’s European marketing manager for sustainability and responsibility.

“Increased uptake shows that its strong environmental credentials o er customers an answer to consumers wanting more sustainable packaging alternatives as they seek to do their part for a low-carbon future,” she says, citing notable early CPG (consumer packaged goods) adopters of SIGNATURE cartons such as Unilever’s B-Better brand in Belgium; Candia in France; nutpods in the U.S.; and Water Cubed in the U.K.

“B-Better water was launched with strong brand values: help consumers to be good to themselves and do better for the planet,” said Hélène Esser, B-Better brand co-founder and marketing manager for refreshments at Unilever.

“SIGNATURE’s unmatched environmental credentials, combined with SIG’s unique bottle-shaped combidome carton, align perfectly with our strapline: ‘It’s a start for less plastic and a better planet’.”

ROLLING IN THE DOUGH

Hardworking dough producer gets a big bang for the buck with leading-edge packaging machinery to achieve optimal production line efﬁciencies

By Andrew Snook

It often takes money to make more money, and for hardworking 40-yearold dough manufacturer Les Aliments 2000, the company’s signiﬁcant recent investment in its packaging operations is happily proving to be the proverbial money in the bank.

Located in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, a small city lying about 25 kilometers southwest of Québec City in central Quebec, the company has made many great strides since starting out back in 1980 as a producer of pizza dough.

In 1990, Les Aliments 2000 success-

fully added the production of pie crusts to its repertoire, following that up in 1999 with another signiﬁcant product portfolio expansion by commencing production of a broad variety of tart bases.

This growth prompted a 2002 move to a new production facility located in an industrial park in Saint-Augustin-deDesmaures, where the company continued to reﬁne its dough-making knowhow and expertise—making it a major regional player in the segment.

Today, Les Aliments 2000 supplies millions of units of pie dough, frozen pizza dough, and pressed and baked

pizza doughs to some of the largest grocery chains operating in the province—including Walmart , Sobeys , Loblaws, Costco and Metro—as well as a multitude of restaurants.

While Quebec accounts for the lion’s share of the company’s sales, it also ships some of its output to customers in Ontario and parts of the U.S.

“There are a lot of other big companies operating in the frozen pizza business, so it is very competitive,” says Les Aliments 2000 president and general manager Denis Giroux.

“But when it comes to pie dough, and pie shells and plates, we are the main producer in Quebec,” says Giroux, adding the company has enjoyed signiﬁcant and consistent growth in demand for its products since the turn of the century.

So much so, in fact, that in 2017 it invested $4.5 million in a new 35,000-square-foot production plant equipped with a variety of state-of-theart automated food processing equipment.

But even with this investment, the 50-employee operation was still struggling to keep pace with customer demand, according to Giroux, due to its packaging equipment being unable to keep up with the pace of production on the processing side.

This imbalance often resulted in frustrating operational bottlenecks that kept the plant from achieving its full potential.

To address these bottleneck issues, Les Aliments 2000 recently invested in a high-performance VC999 RS 520 rollstock thermoform packaging system manufactured by the renowned Swissbased food packaging equipment specialists VC999 Packaging Systems, Inc.

According to Giroux, this investment has enabled Les Aliments 2000 to signiﬁcantly improve its production capabilities, along with the environmental footprint of its packaging.

“Before this machine arrived, we were putting foam trays into our packaging,” Giroux relates. “Now that we have this thermoformer and a ﬂow wrapper in place, we no longer require the use of foam trays, which is much better for the environment.

“We also increased our packaging speed to match our production levels, while also being able to produce more product with less employees.

“It’s really di erent from before, when we had an employee take a Styrofoam plate and put each ball of pizza dough and pie dough onto the plate.

“Now the pie dough is going directly in the machine automatically, with no Styrofoam.”

According to Daniel Gardner, sales director for VC999 Canada Ltd . in Saint-Germain-de-Grantham, Que., the

vacuum-operated machine makes its own deep-draw packages from the rolls of ﬁlm feeding it.

Once the products are placed inside the formed pockets, the thermoformer quickly seals them under vacuum, or with MAP (modiﬁed atmosphere packaging) gas ﬂushing.

As Gardner explains, this direct approach eliminates the need to print and apply extra labels to the package.

“Now they can use top- and bottomprinted ﬁlm to show all the required nutrition information, with no need to print out a separate label and, moreover, the ﬁnal package looks much nicer.”

With its straightforward single-track design concept, the high-speed machine is very easy to add and integrate with

peripheral equipment such as dosing, ﬁlling (multihead weigher dosing and ﬁlling system), printing (inkjet printer with X+Y movement) and coding to provide a turnkey solution, according to VC999.

The system’s ﬁlm gripper chain design has a mechanical clamping mechanism, which locks the ﬁlm tighter when more weight is applied, and the machine is also equipped with an innovative CIP (Clean-in-Place) power wash system for transport chain to ensure minimal maintenance downtime.

Moreover, the RS520 system can make di erent-shaped packages from the same roll of ﬁlm, thereby signiﬁcantly reducing material storage and inventory costs.

“We no longer have production bottlenecks at packaging stage since the equipment was installed.”

The production of the baked pizza dough at Les Aliments 2000 begins with the mix used to create the dough, which is then left to rise. Afterwards, the dough is pressed into the required shape and baked in a stone oven.

The baked pizza dough is then sent via conveyor through a cooling tunnel and then packaged on the VC999 RS520 rollstock thermoformer, which inserts MAP gas mixture into the package to ensure that the product remains fresh on a grocery retail shelf at room temperature for 90 days.

“We have round and square dough we package on this machine,” Giroux says, also citing the beneﬁt of not having to print and apply extra product labels to the packaging.

“All the product and nutritional information is already pre-printed on the rollstock ﬁlm, so there is no need for product labels.

“We now only have one person working in this area at a time,” Giroux extols.

“Basically, their job is to take the ﬁnished packs of pizza dough from the end of the production line and to place it inside cases.

Say Giroux: “We no longer have production bottlenecks at packaging stage

since the VC999 equipment was installed.

“Moreover, we are running the product 40 per cent faster than we were before.”

As Gardner relates, Les Aliments 2000’s relationship with VC999 began a few years ago on the ﬂoor of the popular SIAL Canada food industry trade show in Toronto, when Giroux approached the VC999 exhibit to relate his plant’s bottleneck issues.

“They already had a rollstock machine in place, but they weren’t really happy with it,” Gardner recalls.

“So we came up with a di erent kind of tooling for them for the rollstock machine,” says Gardner, who eventually

convinced Giroux that the ultimate solution for his needs would be investing in a new machine altogether.

Before long Giroux bought into the idea, and a brand new VC999 RS520 machine was installed at the Saint-Augustinde-Desmaures factory in June of 2018.

“The machine was also a bit shorter and more compact than what they had before,” Gardner says, “which they really liked because they didn’t have that much ﬂoorspace.”

A little over a year later, Giroux approached VC999 Canada again—this time looking for a solution to improve the e ciency of the plant’s pie dough production line.

Not only was Giroux satisﬁed with the performance of the VC999 RS520 system, he was also impressed with the after-sales service and technical support that followed the installation.

“We have access to their technicians whenever we need help,” Giroux says, explaining his decision to acquire more VC999 technology.

To help Giroux get his pie dough production more up to speed, Gardner’s team supplied the plant with a VC999 XtraVac FW600A horizontal ﬂow wrapper.

According to VC999, the XtraVac horizontal ﬂow wrapper can reach production speeds of up to 250 packs per minute, while o ering many value-added performance and safety features that

include a large user-friendly interface control; stainless-steel frame and surfaces; memory function for ﬂexible packaging operations; and an overload-sensing function for each of the machine’s three AC servomotors.

Equipped with a 1,000-W heater for the center sealer and a 1,200-W heater for the end sealer, the versatile machine can handle a wide range of bag sizes with bag lengths of 50- to 700-mm and widths of 110- to 270mm, while accommodating product height of up to 120-mm.

Other notable performance feature and attributes include:

• Large user-friendly interface control for convenient operations;

• Stainless-steel frame and surfaces for maximum hygiene and durability;

• Memory function makes the machine ideal for ﬂexible packaging operations;

• Overload-sensing function for each servo motor to prevent parts and product from being damaged;

• An auto-splicer option for higher-speed operation;

• Adjustable forming box to facilitate ﬂexible production;

• A self-diagnostics function for easy troubleshooting;

• Durable low-noise servomotors.

After the pie dough has been properly mixed and prepared at the Les Aliments 2000 plant, it is transferred into an inline portioning/dosing machine that forms the pie dough ball in one- and two-kilogram sizes.

These are then conveyed into the VC999 XtraVac horizontal ﬂow wrapper that automatically wraps and seals the product, which is then whisked away for case-packing in smooth and continuous cooperation.

By taking care of all the obstacles that used to hamper the plant’s production e ciency,

the VC999 equipment has allowed Giroux and his team to concentrate on new product development, which is a critical core competency in this segment of the baked goods industry.

“Our customers always want to have new products made available to them,” Giroux states, “and we have to respond to their demands to keep their business.

“We need to o er new products every year to remain competitive,” Giroux states, “so investing in new equipment is vitally important for us to stay competitive.

“Fortunately, the development of new products is one of our biggest strengths,” Giroux asserts, while acknowledging the dedication and hard-working ethos of his sta .

“We have a very good team of employees here,” Giroux says, crediting their contribution to enabling the plant to achieve vital industry certifications food safety that include HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) certification (2005), FSSC 22000 certification (2011) and, more recently, the internationally recognized GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) certification.

As with the vast majority of Canadian businesses across numerous industries, the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic unleashed last March had seriously tested the company’s ability to be agile and respond to unprecedented new challenges

on-the-ﬂy.

“It was really di erent for us, because we had to change our ways from how we used to do many things we did before,” Giroux recalls.

In addition to making it mandatory for all employees to wear masks and visors, and supplying all areas of the plant with hand sanitizer, the company also purchased a special machine— installed at the facility’s front entrance—for taking the employees’ temperatures.

“We have also hired a dedicated employee that performs the regular disinfection of all of the surfaces in the plant,” Giroux says. “We had to put a lot of new procedures in place.”

Fortunately for Les Aliments 2000, some of those costs were o set by the fact that the demand for its dough products has soared during the pandemic months.

“With so many people now cooking at home,” says VC999 Canada’s Gardner, “they (Les Aliments 2000) are very pleased about getting our machines because they pack so fast; they never would have been able to keep up with the demand surge otherwise.”

Giroux agrees: “We are very happy with the productivity improvements that the VC999 equipment has enabled us to achieve.

“And although we do not have any major new investments planned right at this moment,” he concludes, “when we see something that is right for us, we will definitely go for it.”

Canadian water bottler shifting gears to respond to many new challenges and realities of the emerging Circular Economy

By Andrew Snook

The sustainability of products and packaging are becoming an increasingly hot topic as the push to reduce waste and greenhouse gas emissions become evermore pressing issues for governments and consumers worldwide.

While plastic packaging has recently drawn negative attention from environmentalists and governments around the globe, Shelburne, Ont.-headquartered water bottler Ice River Sustainable Solutions o ers a compelling example of how some companies in the water bottling industry are buckling the trend to ostracize

an entire industry by developing progressive recycling strategies to provide truly sustainable products for Canadian consumers.

“We’ve devoted ourselves to developing a Circular Economy model by thinking about how we can ensure our products can be turned back into the same product at end-of-life.

“This is recycling at its best,” says Crystal Howe, says Ice River’s sustainability manager Crystal Howe.

As part of the company’s source protection plan, it organically farms about 3,000 acres of land.

But the family-owned company, which started up in 1995, has had its roots

grounded in sustainable practices for far longer, running farming operations including ﬁeld crops, poultry and aquaculture, in the area for multiple generations.

To support the growing market for bottled water more e ciently, Ice River has built facilities across Canada to supply local markets and reduce transportation.

Currently operating six bottled water plants in Canada—three in Ontario and one apiece in Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia—Ice River also owns a bottled-water facility in Miami, Fla.

In addition to manufacturing private-label bottled water products for a wide variety of large retailers throughout North America, the company is also wellknown for its own brand of Ice River Green Bottle Co. water, which retails in containers made from recycled ‘green’ plastic.

According to Howe, the company’s hands-on involvement in the recycling aspect of its operations ﬁrst came into focus in 2007.

“That’s when we started to really think about the plastics and how to recover and reuse them,” How told Canadian Packaging in a recent interview.

“Having that farming background always made the environmental impact front-and-center for us,” Howe states.

As Howe relates, the company tried a variety of packaging types in e orts to reduce its carbon footprint before arriving at the right packaging—including polyactic acid (PLA) plastic and packaging the water in cartons.

“We tried PLA but found the shelf-life was very short, and that the water would take on the ﬂavor of the PLA itself,” Howe recalls.

“We tried packaging our water in cartons,” she says, “but we ultimately determined that as much as people thought it was more sustainable, because there’s not nearly as much plastic in it, it is not an easy packaging to recycle—being a mixed material containing paper, aluminum and plastic together in one structure.”

Undeterred, Ice River continued to search for the proper sustainable pack-

“Having that farming background always made the environmental impact front-andcenter for us.”

aging solution, which it ultimately found in the form of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) plastic.

At ﬁrst, Ice River started out on this path by sourcing its rPET resins from outside suppliers, Howe relates, but it was far from an ideal solution.

“Each batch of rPET resin was a little di erent,” she says, “which made it hard to set consistent recipes for the preforms and bottles.

“So we decided to make our own rPET resin,” says Howe, describing the 2010 formation of the Blue Mountain Plastics Recycling (BMP Recycling) sister company.

“We were the ﬁrst beverage company in North America to build our own recycling plant and create a closed-loop system,” Howe points out.

Built right next to Ice River’s original bottling plant in Shelburne, the BMP Recycling facility purchases approximately 80 per cent of all the PET plastic bottles and packaging collected via Ontario’s Blue Box curbside recycling program, which it then sorts, shreds down into flake form, sorts it again, and finally transfers the flakes to a nearby facility in Feversham, Ont., where the bulk flakes are trans-

formed into food-grade rPET resin.

After that the resin is blowmolded into bottles, which are quickly ﬁlled, capped and shipped out into the marketplace.

After the product has been consumed, the process begins all over again once consumers put the empty bottles inside their Blue Box bins.

By using recycled-content instead of virgin resin, Ice River has been able to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 76 per cent, while also slashing its energy use requirements by 78 per cent and water consumption by 99 per cent, and keeping millions of pounds of plastic in the value chain, instead of going to landﬁll our simply being discarded into the environment.

“Blue Mountain Plastics recycles about 50 million pounds of plastic per year,” Howe proclaims.

“Across our family of companies, we recycle about 65 million pounds of plastic each year, says Howe, citing the company’s recent acquisition of Toronto-based Urban Polymers, “which will add signiﬁcant additional capacity to our PET recycling.”

To create the ﬁnished product, the company uses ErgoBloc L wet section blocks supplied by Krones Machinery,

With output capacity of up to 81,000 containers per hour, the ErgoBloc L wet section from Krones requires 70 per cent less floorspace than conventional bottling lines.

Inc., Franklin, Wis.-based subsidiary of leading German beverage processing and packaging line equipment manufacturer Krones AG

The most recent installation of this Krones equipment took place at the company’s Shelburne facility, where Ice River now has a recycling plant, a ﬁlm extrusion plant, and a bottling facility operating in the same compound.

Says Howe: “Installing a Krones line in this facility was the ﬁnal step in creating a showcase location in Shelburne, where visitors can see the entire process from recycling to production—the entire Ice River story.”

As Howe relates, Ice River has enjoyed a very beneﬁcial business relationship with Krones Machinery since installing its ﬁrst Krones bottling equipment back in 2013.

“It’s all high-end equipment, very ecient and very environmentally-friendly, with low scrap rates.

“It’s also very water-e cient and energy-e cient,” Howe adds.

“All of our high-speed 500-ml bottle production lines come from Krones,” she relates, “and we also recently purchased a four-liter line from Krones.

“It’s very detailed equipment that can be di cult to learn, but once you learn it,

there’s nothing that can beat it,” Howe states.

“Now that we have that expertise in our plant, we can replicate that across all of our facilities.”

The bottle manufacturing process begins with the recycled rPET preforms being fed into the ErgoBloc L via a hopper, where they are heated in the oven before being sent to the blowmolder.

At this stage, the water bottles are blown into shape using an electromagnetic stretching system, with each blowing station keeping the process running at a fast pace with robust output capacity of up to 2,750 containers per hour.

The high-performance line features an integrated quick-change system for the molds; an energy-e cient infrared linear oven with ceramic reﬂectors; and actively controlled transfer grippers.

The bottles are then sent through a cooler, where the container base is cooled down using blown air.The bottles are then sent to a labeling station, equipped with built-in gap detection.

The bottles are labeled before being ﬁlled to ensure the optimal label positioning, since full bottles can have varying internal pressures that can potentially impact the label placement during application.

The highly flexible Solomodul labeler can handle cold glue, hot-melt and selfadhesive applications, with its modular design even enabling a combination of di erent labeling techniques on a single container.

The Modufill VFJ is a hygienic filler for PET containers is designed to ensure precise fill quantities, with exceptional output rates of up to 81,000 containers per hour.

The fully-automatic, flexible and modular Variopac Pro case-packer easily adapts to all packaging needs to handle packaging with pads, inside trays, and wraparound cartons with or without shrinkwrap film.

“A robotic palletizer takes the packs andwrapped and labeled,” Howe explains, adding that all of the equipment through the production process (post cooled down

The bottles are then transferred to the filling station, where a swirl insert in the fill valve activates a low-foam filling process,

using a high-precision ﬂowmeter to ensure accurate ﬁll levels.

The bottles are then capped and sent through a vision system to ensure the caps, labels and ﬁll levels are all within the specs, after which the approved products are transferred on to the case-packer, where they are typically packed in groups of 24 bottles.

“We make our own case-packing film at our BMP Extrusion next door, an the Krones case-packer wraps 24 bottles into the shrink film and sends it into the oven, which selects a very specific heating profile to shrink the film and secure the pack.

“A robotic palletizer then takes the packs and ﬁts them onto a pallet, which is stretchwrapped and labeled,” Howe explains, adding that all of the equipment through the production process (post preform) is supplied by Krones Machinery.

Howe recalls watching the robotic palletizer work for an hour the ﬁrst time she saw it in action, thinking back to how much her family’s operation has changed over the years.

“When we started in 1995 at Ice River, it was a manual line,” she recalls.

“I remember running the second-hand equipment, putting the labels on by hand, holding bottles under a ﬁller, and capping them by hand.

“We built the boxes and hand-piled them on the pallet,” Howe recounts. “It’s quite amazing to see how far we have come.”

As it happened, the installation of the Krones ErgoBloc L wet section at the Shelburne facility was scheduled to take place right about the time that the devastating COVID-19 pandemic spread to Canada last March.

Due to the ensuing to international travelling restrictions, things had to be done a little di erently than usual.

“The start of the pandemic created (from top)

more conversations with the customer and installation team than we normally would have,” says Adam Gores, regional sales manager for Krones Machinery.

“The ErgoBloc installation team comes from our Guatemala division, so it was a challenge to keep the project on task.”

Fortunately, Ice River had a lot of prior experience working with Krones Machinery on the installation of this type of equipment.

“IRSS has its own installation team, who felt that with Krones’ support they had the background and enough experience to get these machines uncrated and on the ground to start laying them out mechanically,” Gores says.

“We started with that, and after we understood how to bring in colleagues from other parts of the world, we were able to bring in more technicians to help.

“We were still able to achieve the production runs when needed.

“It was a big collaboration,” Gores recalls. “Hats o to their installation team, because they really know how to take on a problem and ﬁnd solutions.

“Not completing something is not an option to them,” Gores states. “It’s nice to work with people like that.

“It was quite an interesting installation.”

The robots of the Modulpal Pro series palletizer provide a wide array of options for loading and unloading of pallets, including returnable crates, cartons, filmwrapped packs and multipacks, with a maximum output of 650 layers per hour.

the world is not an easy way to make a living, according to Howe.

“It’s a very competitive market and water is a commodity product,” she points out.

“People rely on it, and being a low-margin business requires that production costs must be controlled,” she says.

“Moving to 100-percent recycled content meant we had to be even more ecient in order for our product to compete in price against companies who use virgin PET.

“If it was easy to switch,” Howe states, “everyone would do it.

“We were told we would never achieve a 100-percent recycled-content bottle,” she points out, “but we did it within a year.”

Howe adds that being a family-run operation allows the company to be agile and adapt to any challenges that come its way in with timely response.

“That’s the nice thing about having a family-run business,” she extols. “We don’t have a ‘corporate feel’ here, and we don’t have a board of directors or shareholders to answer to.

“We just need to agree as an executive team to make a change,” she says, “and then we do it.”

As Howe relates, Ice River’s supply chain wasn’t really a ected by the COVID-19 pandemic, since recycling

operations that the company depends on were deemed essential, remaining active throughout Ontario’s municipalities.

To help out during the pandemic, Ice River also repurposed some of its bottle production output to supply bottles to breweries, distilleries, and cosmetic companies who began producing hand sanitizer.

“Some companies were trying to supply hand sanitizer for front line workers but weren’t able to get bottles because of international supply issues,” recalls Howe.

“We were able to step in and to supply recycled PET bottles to those companies right here at home in Ontario, and even one in Nova Scotia,” Howe says.

“We were also able to help by donating bottled water to shelters and organizations feeding the homeless across Canada,” says Howe, stressing the family-owned company feels very proud about being able to combine its environmentally responsible production practices with genuine social conscience.

As Howe sums up, “We are Canadian through and through, and our team felt good knowing we could help our communities, while continuing to lead the way in responsible manufacturing.”

THE CUTTING EDGE

Toronto co-packer embraces digital technologies and process automation to pave the path for prosperous future

By George Guidoni, Editor

Longevity and staying power in the highly competitive co-packing business are largely deﬁned by a company’s ability to reinvent itself to meet its customers’ ever-evolving needs and requirements to succeed in the markets they serve.

And if the last 35 years are any indication, Toronto-based Promotional Print & Packaging Inc. (PPP) has mastered the art of self-reinvention down to science—in many ways thanks to its willingness and ability not only to embrace change, but to use it as a catalyst for continued growth and success.

Founded in 1985 by a husband-andwife team of Brad and Sherry Townsend, the family-owned company enjoys a proud and extensive track record of providing its demanding CPG (consumer packaged goods) customers with the

essential product packaging, display and distribution services to help brandowners reach and entice their target customers to purchase their products.

Operating as a “One Stop Shop” solutions provider for clients ranging from major multinationals to e -commerce start-ups, the company has invested millions of dollars over the years to equip its two Toronto plants with the latest best-of-breed packaging systems and technologies to o er clients a comprehensive end-to-end suite of product and services that includes retail POP (pointof-purchase) displays; printing and ﬁnishing capabilities; distribution and fulﬁllment services; storage and logistics; and the fast-growing e -commerce custom packaging design and production.

According to PPP president Brandon Townsend, a 2018 move to a new modern location in Toronto’s east end has

enabled the 70-employee company to achieve new process e ciencies and accommodate a range of next-generation technologies that have ﬁne-tuned its operational excellence to not only consolidate its existing client base, but also open new opportunities in the rapidly-growing e -commerce sector that has been growing in gigantic leaps and bounds since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.

“We are primarily focused on consumer goods across multiple categories, with specialized expertise in natural health, back-to-school and o ce supplies, and consumer goods,” Townsend relates.

“We also have extensive in-house retail expertise across multiple retail formats,” adds Townsend, noting that the company’s new operating location, which includes a temperature-monitored 80,000-square-foot warehouse, enables it to provide direct shipping and order fulﬁllment for large retail customers

such as Walmart , Costco and Canadian Tire , thereby bypassing thirdparty distribution centers.

“We have a wide array of blister equipment, shrinkwrapping systems, digital print technologies, wide-format printers, and labeling and boxmaking equipment to enable us to achieve rapid response in our co-packing division and ensure we are making all the in-store dates,” he says.

According to Townsend, the company’s highly dedicated co-packing team

assembled more than 40,000 pallets of ﬁnished goods last year working on a two-shift schedule, shipping tens of millions of consumer products across Canada.

“Our co-packing department is set up for extreme ﬂexibility,” says Townsend, citing speed-to-market as one of the most critical competencies demanded by retail customers today from their vendors and business partners.

“Technology is having a profound impact on speed-to-market and demand

volatility,” Townsend states. “In a highly competitive market, retailers and their trading partners do not have the luxury of recovering lost sales when opportunities arise, thus the six- to 12-week orderto-ship cycles are no longer an option.”

In addition, the accelerated emergence of e -commerce retailing and online shopping is also driving retailers and brand-owners alike to compress their product development cycles, resulting in even tighter deadlines for their co-packing suppliers.

“Leading retailers and CPG companies will continue to increase their demand for value-added services beyond traditional co-packing capabilities,” Townsend proclaims, “while demand-driven supply chains and blurred lines between ‘Bricks and Clicks’ will result in compressed order-to-ship cycles and a more responsive supply chain.”

Happily for PPP, the company’s ability to identify and respond to these new disruptive trends early on has positioned it to beneﬁt from the new paradigm shift through timely investment in new-generation technologies assembled at the new location.

As Townsend relates, “We attribute our proﬁtable growth and success to our ability to anticipate and incorporate market dynamics and future challenges into our solutions and product o erings.

“For example, we embraced remote working prior to the pandemic and deployed technologies to ensure its success.

“We also correctly anticipated and planned for a diverse and skilled workforce and the competition for co-packing labor,” he adds.

“Embracing a mobile workforce demands deployment of digital technologies with employees that have the prerequisite skill set,” says Townsend, citing signiﬁcant capital investment in digital technologies and process automation and integration, including AI (artiﬁcial intelligence) and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things).

“On the software side we have multiple systems that drive our company, including our co-packing ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and WMS (warehouse management system), Manufacturing ERP, 3D design software, AI Imposition, Web2print and a Workﬂow automation platform to connect everything together,” Townsend reveals.

“We are now so heavily automated in our front-end processes that we have started thinking about ourselves as a software company that has production equipment,” he notes.

“We have integrated, and are continually integrating, all our processes so that we can have zero manual input past the design phase of all our projects—so that we can move from order to production in under a minute of instant quoting.

The Zund D3-L3200 digital cutting table is a dual-beam system incorporating two independently operating beams to double the output of singlebeam systems.

The Zund D3 digital cutting system at PPP is equipped with an integrated Board Handling system to provide fully-automatic loading and unloading of corrugated board processed by the dual-beam machine.

“Our investment in best-in-class technologies will add tremendous value to our existing and future customers with fully integrated processes and technologies,” Townsend asserts.

“How we imagine, create, manufacture and ship packaging and display solutions is undergoing a complete transformation as entrepreneurs capitalize on e-commerce opportunities,” explains Townsend.

“Shopping online is a 24/7 service, therefore companies who succeed in this space must understand the importance of the ‘always on’ mentality.”

For PPP, the company’s ‘always on’ mindset is vividly demonstrated with recent formation a new company division called JuicyFlutes, which is specifically tasked with helping companies of all sizes to build up their e -commerce businesses with custom-tailored packaging solutions designed to meet the special demands and requirements of this fast-growing retail channel.

“Customers will continue to evolve in tandem with emerging technologies,” Townsend points out, “and retail environments will have to adapt to omni-channel shoppers in a postCOVID-19 world.”

While the company is always working closely with its customers on all projects, JuicyFlutes is structured to provide companies competing in e -commerce channels an unprecedented level of input and collaboration, Townsend contends.

“JuicyFlutes was created to o er packaging and display solutions that address current challenges and problems with purchasing solutions online,” he explains.

“The current process is often time-consuming, tedious, confusing and ine cient, while many current online solutions demand a graphic designer, prooﬁng, and expertise in pre-requisite materials and best practices,” Townsend observes.

“We understand that our customers are unique, with disparate skill sets, and our solutions address that by enabling our customers to take control of the entire design-to-ship process online—helping our customers achieve success on their terms.”

Currently employing a team of nine full-time sta , the new JuicyFlutes business is speciﬁcally mandated to help small and medium-sized (SMEs) businesses thrive in their chosen market niches that are often overlooked by large multinational CPG giants, according to Townsend.

“Historically, customized packaging was a luxury reserved for large companies,” he says, “and securing a retail presence with a display was almost impossible.

“We solve this problem head-on by enabling brands to take control of their design-to-ship processes.

“Small and medium companies are a driving force in the Canadian economy,” he states, “and we are proud to support this industry sector by leveraging our expertise to help small and medium companies grow their business with customized packaging and in-store displays.”

Says Townsend: “A smaller brand that aspires to gain a presence in retail needs a trusted advisor to succeed, and Juicy Flutes aspires to this role with fully-integrated, best-in-class technologies to help small and medium e-commerce companies with e ective packaging and e-commerce shipping solutions.”

To help these smaller customers bring their innovative packaging ideas and concepts to life, PPP has made a signiﬁcant investments in the digital cutting systems and technologies manufactured in Switzerland by Zünd Systemtechnik AG , and distributed in North America

by its Zund America Inc. subsidiary in Oak Creek, Wis.

As Townsend relates, “Zund has played a large role in digitizing our production.

“Our initial relationship came about when we were building our design center in 2019, but it quickly evolved into building a full digital manufacturing production line with extensive automation capabilities,” says Townsend, crediting Zund with helping JuicyFlutes build a robust Web2print platform that can run around-the-clock and deliver unrivalled speed-to-market.

“They have been extremely supportive

of our desire to run 24/7 in the dark, meaning unmanned, and to really push the limits of technology.”

As for Zund machinery itself, Townsend has nothing but praise for the craftsmanship, performance and reliability levels provided by the Zund G3L3200 cutter—used for sampling, ultra short runs and redundancy—and the Zund D3-L3200 cutter with a board handling system used for short and medium production runs.

utilizing exceptionally sharp and durable knives, blades, routers, creasing wheels and other types of tooling to process materials up to 110-mm-thick—depending on beam height— with exceptional precision and virtually zero ﬁber loss or waste.

Using built-in vacuum generators to hold down the processed materials in place during processing, the modular Zund D3 cutters are operated via Zund Cutter Center software—containing an extensive material database with optimal cutting parameters for every material and every Zund tool—that can be completely integrated into the digital workﬂow to support the end-user in every

to Townsend, thereby making its packaging products ever more sustainable.

Says Townsend: “While FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) certiﬁcations are key essentials of any sustainability program for the packaging industry, we have taken it a step further by utilizing AI to analyze all of our jobs and make decisions based on equipment utilization, material sizes and, most importantly, reducing the amount of square footage consumed.

“With our digital lines we are able to not only create sheet combinations that reduce our waste on each layout, but also to pretty much eliminate all of our set-up waste for every process by running only exactly what is needed—creating close to zero obsolescence,” Townsend states.

“The result is that we are able to take our sustainability measures much further by reducing the amount of waste throughout the entire system.”

All in all, Townsend says he expects both PPP and JuicyFlutes to beneﬁt from the company’s proactive capital investment spending and related sta training to pay o handsomely in coming years, well after the economy at large recovers from the current COVID-19 pandemic nightmare.

“Our investment in digital technologies and automation and integration of processes will result in a long-lasting competitive advantage for us and our customers,” Townsend states.

phase of job preparation.

For its part, the Zund D3 digital cutting system is equipped with two independently operating beams—each accommodating up to three di erent tools—whereby the cutter’s controller optimally allocates the jobs to each of the two beams to ensure maximum productivity and throughput.

Equipped with a Zund BHS (board handling system), the D3 cutters o ers fully automated board load and unloading to minimize the required manual labor for loading the individual sheets of processed materials and removing stacks of cut/ﬁnished sheets of material— facilitating 24/7 production with minimal personnel.

“The dual-beam D3 system doubles our cutting output with its two heads working as one,” Townsend notes, “while the G3 serves as a back-up unit—using the same tools to allow for redundancy if D3 goes down, or if we need to boost production throughput.”

For JuicyFlutes, the Zund digital cutters are a perfect ﬁt for the company’s digitalized workﬂow and relentless emphasis on waste minimization, according

“I also believe that this strategy will prepare us to e ectively compete in the future as we continue to attract and inspire a highly skilled and diverse workforce.”

Says Townsend: “The display and packaging industry is in a state of continuous change due to the evolving retail formats, more demanding and techsavvy shoppers, and the convergence of emerging technologies.

“I also believe that most companies fail to understand the importance of their most critical resource—their employees,” he concludes.

“Creating an environment that results in an inspired and creative workforce is essential to our success, which will be will be dictated by the practical identiﬁcation and deployment of innovation across all our products and processes.”

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is integral to engineering and production applications today. IIoT connects sensors, actuators, controllers, and other equipment to make data about their environment and function available anywhere. Read on for tips on connecting your equipment to the IIoT

CHOOSE WHAT TO CONNECT TO THE IIOT

Point-to-point connections easily connect enabled devices to interface modules like IO-Link masters. IO-Link protocol transmits switching information or combined switching status and data, depending on the protocol version. Devices configured for IO-Link devices are also compatible with standard PLCs through the IEC61131 program standards. Most sensors enabled with IO-Link capabilities are three-wire designs that monitor a variety of parameters. They include proximity, photoelectric, ultrasonic, pressure, temperature, flow, linear position, rotary, HF RFID, and inclination sensors. The structure of IO-Link means that properly configured sensors can act as switches, transmit data, or both. For example, capacitive proximity sensors detect the presence of liquids and solids in applications like plastic and rubber production, food and beverage processing, and material handling. Such sensors have allowed engineers to eliminate the need for an external PLC or amplifier for filling/emptying applications by providing basic logic functions in addition to sensing.

Likewise, inductive proximity sensors work in tight spaces to detect metallic objects for motion control tasks like tool selection, robotic position-sensing, and control of micro-mechanisms. The most up-to-date version of IO-Link lets inductive proximity sensors double as RPM detectors as they provide an output once in a specified number of revolutions or target detections.

MAINTAIN AND REPLACE THE SPECIFIED SENSORS

Once you’ve chosen to implement sensors configured for IO-Link in your application, be sure to protect your investment by choosing units certified to withstand your application environment. For example, sensors with an IP69K rating are dust tight and can withstand a washdown environment’s high pressure water jets. ECOLAB certifications indicate that the housing will not break down under exposure to common industrial fluids.

You can plan for quick replacement by choosing sensors that adhere to standard sizes, connectors, and cabling. That way, you won’t need to keep so many unique replacements on hand. For example, inductive proximity sensors with IO-Link capabilities are available in standard sizes from M4 to M30, and their capacitive counterparts come in M18 and M30 sizes.

When it comes time to replace a sensor, its configuration has already been stored by its connected IO-Link master. That makes it easy to download an old sensor’s configuration to its replacement prior to installation.

TROUBLESHOOT EACH SENSOR REMOTELY

Sensors that use IO-Link protocols for both data communication and switching status can provide a wealth of troubleshooting information. To make the most of the available data, query the sensor with a portable configurator. These handheld units are battery powered and connect to sensors directly, so there’s no need to be tethered to a laptop or PC. In addition to configuring IO-Link sensors prior to installation, portable smart configurators can also display sensor readings, operating hours, alarms, and statistics like quality of run and quality of teach. They place all the information required to troubleshoot the sensor at the operator’s fingertips remotely.

CONFIGURE SENSORS FOR SMART OPERATION

IO-Link sensors can operate in standard I/O mode, such as in communication with a PLC. When they are connected with an IO-Link master, they switch automatically into the richer IO-Link communication mode.

Using this feature, portable configurators can configure sensors remotely. Operators can download the IODD file that contains sensor configuration data via WiFi and change the sensor’s operations. This includes altering the switch point mode, sensing distance, and timing functions as well as output configurations like PNP, NPN, push-pull, and normally open or normally closed.

PREPARE FOR RAPID CHANGEOVERS

Portable configurators also shine in today’s production environment where product changeovers using the same equipment are becoming more frequent. The performance of many smart sensors can be changed remotely using the IO-Link protocol to accommodate changes in production setup.

One example comes from material handling applications where changeovers may include changes in product dimensions. Using a remote configurator, operators can adjust the sensing distance of proximity sensors to between 62% and 100% of maximum without changing the physical location of the sensor.

ENSURE EASE OF USE FOR ALL TASKS

A great depth and breadth of information is available through the communication between sensor and IO-Link master. To organize this information, a portable configurator like the SCTL55 from Carlo Gavazzi can guide users through intuitive graphical user interfaces (GUIs). The options available to each user depend on his or her level of access. For example, a sensor specialist, an engineer, and an operator might each have access to the specific information and commands he or she needs, thus adding an extra level of application security.

FUTURE-PROOF YOUR PROCESS WITH ADVANCED PRODUCTS

Although there are many sensors configured for IO-Link and compatible configurators on the market, it’s best to choose units that are compatible with the most up-to-date communications protocol. Sensors and configurators designed for IO-Link 1.1 can exchange more than simple switching data. A combined switching status and data channel exchanges two bytes every 2 msec.

It is this enhanced data stream available with advanced IO-Link sensors that connects the details of industrial processes into the IIoT. With it, process values, parameters, and diagnostics become available across the enterprise.

Just as Industry 4.0 and the IIoT are becoming the standard for industry worldwide, IO-Link 1.1 provides a standardized way to configure, troubleshoot, and read sensors. Suppliers like Carlo Gavazzi can provide expert advice on implementing sensors configured for IO-Link, smart configurators, and masters.

Manufactured by Léo Mailhot Inc. just outside of Montreal, all of the company’s wooden pallets, made from pre-treated softwood and hardwood sourced from across Quebec, feature inkjet-printed names of both the manufacturer and its end-use customer to provide clear brand di rentiation and to facilitate product traceability.

OUT OF THE WOODS

Quebec manufacturer of wooden pallets making its mark in the marketplace with robust inkjet product marking technology

By Pierre Deschamps

Like many di erent commonplace products used across multiple industries today, the origins of the humble wooden pallets have their origins rooted in war-time necessity.

It was during the early stages of World War II when two enterprising military men deployed on an American navy base in New York State, captain Charles Kirk and lieutenant Walter Sheldon, set out to ﬁnd a way to ﬁll out the entire interior volume of a freight car with much-needed war-time supplies to be shipped to the front lines in Europe.

To do this, they divided the ﬂoor of a car into 1.2-meter squares and then built a wooden base of the same size to accommodate the various crates stacked onto those bases to maximum height with products loaded into those crates at

the base.

Without this fairly simple accessory, who knows if the multitude of essential products made in America factories throughout the conﬂict would have reached the Allied troops ﬁghting in Europe at the proper time and in sucient volumes to aid the American-led o ensive against Nazi Germany that ultimately ended in the Allied victory in May of 1945.

Since then, the pallet has become an essential commodity for all kinds of business enterprises seeking to streamline their product handling, storage and transportation operations in conjunction with palletizers, banding machines and, of course, the new-generation forklift trucks designed for quick and e cient movement of goods and materials between di erent locations. Naturally, the design and engineering of those pallets have evolved signiﬁcant-

ly over time, as pallet manufactures had to account for many di erent factors, such as load weight capacity and the center of gravity, among others, to be able to store these pallets on top of one another.

Although today’s shipping pallets are made from many di erent materials, including wood, plastic, metal, molded wood consisting of wood chips or wood waste, and corrugated cardboard, wooden pallets remain the most commonly used type.

Although there are many competent and reliable manufacturers or wooden pallets operating in the province of Quebec nowadays, there is one that has managed to distinguish itself in the marketplace by implementing a rigorous

product identiﬁcation system to keep track of all the multitude of pallet and wooden crates it ships out into the market on a daily basis.

Operating in the province’s Lanaudière region just to the northeast of Montreal, Léo Mailhot Inc. “was founded by my grandfather Léo in 1966,” according to current company president Éric Mailhot.

Employing between 20 and 30 people throughout the year, depending on seasonal demand ﬂuctuations, the company’s production site on Landry Street in Saint-Alexis comprises three buildings totalling 30,000 square feet of production space, along with an outdoor courtyard measuring about 140,000 square feet.

Producing about 800,000 pallets and nearly 45,000 wooden crates annually, the company has been enjoying steady growth since 2014, according to Mailhot, essentially doubling its annual revenues since then.

“The growth of our clientele is the reason for our growth,” Mailhot explains. These clients come from di erent business sectors like hydraulic and plastic product industries, as well as packaging, many of them located nearby in Lanaudière, Montreal and its South Shore suburbs, and between Boucherville and Sorel-Tracy.

Priding itself on superior customer service and quick response time, Mailhot manufactures in pallets in a broad range of sizes and load capacities.

“For one of our clients, for example, we manufacture 15 di erent pallet sizes,” Mailhot relates.

“In fact, we can easily manufacture all kinds of pallets tailored to the customers’ use and application requirements, which is a real asset,” he adds.

“Many manufacturers, particularly bigger ones but not just them, are not interested in assembling pallets that have non-standard shapes or sizes, or that fulﬁll orders with smaller batch sizes.”

Mailhot explains that the ﬁnal enduse largely determines what type of wood, either hardwood of softwood (resinous wood) is used to make the re-

quested pallets—storage or transport— along with the weight and size of the products.

However, the selected materials typically have no bearing on the time it takes to produce the pallets in question.

“In total, the assembly and nailing takes an average of 45 seconds per pallet,” says Mailhot, adding the company is able to “deliver batch sizes of pallets all within the same day,” using one of three trailer trucks owned by the company.

According to Mailhot, putting the company’s name on each pallet it makes, along with that of the customers, is a long-standing practice.

“As far as I recall, we have almost al -

ways printed our names on our pallets,” he states. “For us, this branding ensures our business card is everywhere, giving us gives us great visibility in the marketplace.”

Says Mailhot: “In the beginning, marking the pallets involved using special stencils and brushes, but today’s printing technologies have evolved signiﬁcantly to save us time and to provide better quality with solutions that give better rendering and durability.

“Having said that, there is some technology that is better suited to printing on wood, including certain kinds of softwood, such as pine and spruce, that are more porous than the di erent types of

hardwood used at the Saint-Alexis plant,” says Mailhot, adding the company sources its wood in Quebec from batches have previously been treated with phytosanitary products to control plant pest infestations.

For its marking needs, Léo Mailhot works with DMS Marking & Coding, a Longueuil, Que.-based company with a strong, hard-earned industry reputations for quality products and services.

As DMS Marking & Coding technical representative Gérald Charbonneau relates, “Léo Mailhot was looking for a mark-up system capable of printing letters, numbers, symbols, or even a logo, in height of two or more inches, while o ering superior marking quality and capable of withstanding the ravages of time.

“To meet all these needs, we quickly moved away from the inkjet cartridge systems in our product portfolio, and opted for an inkjet system with an oilbased ink tank that, taking into account the substrate, provides a better look and a really brighter black ﬁnish.”

The equipment in question is Squid Ink’s CoPilot 500 printing system—designed to print high-resolution, superior-quality characters with up to 2.8-inch height, and the ability to generate two prints per controller.

Produced by the Brooklyn Park, Minn.-based Squid Ink Manufacturing Co. , “The CoPilot 500 is a very versatile and cost-e ective solution for coding and marking applications,” according to Charbonneau, who is also quick to compliment Squid Ink’s PZ-

“Many manufacturers, particularly bigger ones but not just them, are not interested in assembling pallets that have non-standard shapes or sizes, or that fulﬁll orders with smaller batch sizes.”

1000 ink formulation used by the system to mark the pallets.

Says Charbonneau: “Squid Ink’s PZ1000 for porous substrates provides ultra-low maintenance, eliminating the need for auto-priming functions, providing a darker print, and ensuring much better consumption of ink than many competing systems.”

Renowned for its robust design, the low level of maintenance it requires, and its user-friendly software, the CoPilot 500 system is designed speciﬁcally to withstand the harsh demands of industrial application such as pallet marking—featuring durable touchscreen, industrial-strength printhead construction, simple ink delivery system, and a large 500-ml cartridge to keep the line running longer with minimal downtime.

Running on Orion message creation PC software, the CoPilot 500 has proven to be a terriﬁc investment for Léo Mailhot Inc., according to Charbonneau. “It has proven to be a perfect system for supporting the company’s solid growth,” he says, “so much so that they have recently ordered a second CoPilot system that we will be delivering to them soon.”

Creating a better tomorrow™...

BENEFITS OF REDUCING GUIDE RAIL CHANGEOVER TIMES

By Stephanie Takacs, Marketing Specialist Power Transmission Solutions at Regal Beloit

INTRODUCTION

Conveyors for ﬁlling and packaging products are usually designed for one product size, with little room for variation. Changes in demand and container sizes pose challenges for operations teams. As manufacturers introduce new products, they typically want to test-run them on existing lines, since it is expensive and challenging to purchase and set up a new conveyor. More product variation means more line changeovers per shift, day or week.

Both the frequency of changeovers and the size of the line can impact how long the conveyor adjustment takes — and how long the line is inactive.

COVID-19 has rapidly changed the buying habits of consumers. With more people staying home, the demands for cans, bottles and containers have increased.

All of this means that faster changeovers — with proper social distancing practices implemented — are more critical than ever. Companies can beneﬁt from the speed and safety of these changeovers, especially to increase product output and conveyor line efﬁciency.

COST OF IMPROPER GUIDE RAIL ADJUSTMENT

A plant crew needs to be able to quickly and repeatedly adjust their railings for proper product handling. This often requires manually adjusting the guide rails. The maintenance team must loosen the hardware, adjust the rail position, measure for the proper clearance, re-tighten the hardware, and repeat this process with each bracket. The larger the line, the longer it takes. These manual setups rely on the individual to accurately measure the clearance, but this process introduces the risk of human error.

It’s not a tired cliché to say time is money. Each minute down for a changeover means lost production revenue and incurring the cost of needed labor. If the guide rails are not adjusted properly, packages or bottles can fall over and break. These damaged containers may result in product loss and compromised sanitation.

GUIDE RAIL ADJUSTMENT OPTIONS

Some guide rail options include adjustable brackets that utilize a mechanical system, such as a rotating wheel or crank. This setup moves the brackets at the same time. Although this option is repeatable, it can be expensive and difﬁcult to retroﬁt on an existing line.

Pneumatic systems are another option. These systems do not require tools to adjust the rails, and curved and straight sections can be moved simultaneously. However, these options come with significant upfront costs and require highly skilled mechanics in order to maintain them. They are also difficult to retrofit.

But Regal offers a third solution, one that eliminates the need for tools and allows for repeatable adjustments. Regal’s System Plast® SpeedSet™ bracket solution is easy to retrofit on existing lines. The design’s spring cartridge assembly is installed into a bracket which attaches to the conveyor line. These brackets are fitted with spacers to hold multiple guide rail positions. This configuration drastically reduces the time to adjust the guide rails: simply slide in the spacer for quick and consistent adjustments.

CALCULATING SAVINGS

With the use of SpeedSet brackets, Regal recently helped a beverage production facility decrease its changeover time. The production line, which was ﬁlling 800 containers per minute, needed to accommodate three different container sizes three times per week.

It had been taking two workers nine hours each week to perform the changeovers.

As a result of switching to SpeedSet brackets, the plant saw an uptime increase of 10% and a reduction in changeover time per week from 9 to 1.5 hours. Their calculated efﬁciency improvement enabled increased production, which equated to $1.7M more revenue annually, along with reductions in labor costs and product loss.

KNOW YOUR OPTIONS

As straightforward as a guide rail change may seem, options must be weighed. A facility that has the right technology in place to maximize changeover efﬁciency can realize time and money savings and improve productivity, all of which are increasingly important in these unique times.

Changing of the guard at PPEC: Rachel Kagan to head paper packaging’s environmental council

January 26, 2021 (Brampton, ON)

The environmental council for Canada’s paper packaging industry is pleased to announce the appointment of Rachel Kagan as its new Executive Director, effective February 1st.

The Paper and Paperboard Packaging Environmental Council (PPEC) was formed in 1990 and works as an umbrella organisation for Canada’s many packaging mills and converters. It lobbies governments on environmental issues, networks with other industry players, co-ordinates action nationwide, develops practical solutions, and promotes the environmental performance of the industry. Over its 30-year history, it has achieved several world or North American firsts, including pioneering the addition of old boxboard cartons to Ontario’s Blue Box system back in the 1990s. Today, some 94% of Canadians can recycle this material.

Rachel Kagan was most recently a consultant but has an extensive background working with industry trade associations in sustainability and

recycling policy development and government and stakeholder relations. She was vicepresident (environmental sustainability policy) with Food & Consumer Products of Canada and before that national director (environmental affairs) for the Retail Council of Canada and a senior policy analyst with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce.

“We are really pleased to welcome Rachel as our new executive director,” said PPEC chair Chris Bartlett, president of TenCorr Packaging. “It’s a challenging job keeping on top of everything that’s going on environmentally, but I am sure she’s up to it.”

Rachel will take over from John Mullinder, who has been executive director of the council since its inception 30 years ago. “Once COVID-19 is out of the way, we hope to celebrate John’s achievements in a more public way,” said Bartlett. “We wish him the very best in his return to a writing career.’’

Pa aging That Keeps the Beat Going Strong / Je May

Drumsticks may all look the same to most concert audiences, but as any serious drummer will tell you, there is a myriad of various weights, diameters and di erent types of tips to consider before actually taking stage with the rest of the band. Founded by legendary percussionist Joe Calato back in 1958, the Niagara Falls, N.Y.-based J.D. Calato Mfg. Co. Inc. packs its signature Regal Tip brand wooden drumsticks in pairs—held snugly together by a simple, square-shaped paperboard sleeve attached right at the base of the drumsticks. Just long-enough to accommodate the stylish brand logo on the front panel, the short sleeve uses each of its panels to provide all the basic description, a barcode sticker, and the now-requisite social media contact information and website addres. Extending only to about a third of the length of the drumsticks, the simple unobtrusive package lets the product basically speak for itself, whereby the Regal Tip logo is etched into the wooden stem in black, along with the corresponding size number and a proud ‘Made in U.S.A’ declaration.

Speaking of keeping things together, the resealable 236-ml plastic containers of resealable Gorilla Wood Glue brand quickly cath the eye with wraparound label adorned with the product’s iconic logo of the great ape to convey the product’s message of unrivalled bonding strength. Made of thick and sturdy HDPE (high-density polyethylene) plastic, the container’s screwtop closure is topped o with a well-designed applicator tip to ensure precise dispensing of the fast-bonding adhesive, and it can be easily rinsed o after use to get rid of any leftover excess glue and locked back into place for future use. Ergonomically designed to ensure a good and secure grip during use, without feeling heavy or clumsy, this go-to product is a great addition for any weekend warrior’s wood shop.

Columbia,Tenn.-based distiller Stillhouse Spirits Co. is proud to delve into history

(From left) The Regal Tip brand drumsticks; the Gorilla Wood Glue resealable container with built-in applicator tip; the Flaskshaped steel can of Stillhouse Black Bourbon, the 19 Crimes wine bottle celebrating Australia’s notorious colonial past.

to package its signature Stillhouse Black Bourbon brand inside flask-shaped, 100-percent stainless-steel cans to convey its message that, “Good times go where glass can’t follow.” Designed specifically to entice bourbon aficionados to take their libation whervever they like, the lightweight can is outfitted with a leak-proof, stainless-steel cap to ensure no spillage on your travels, and the top lid comes with an attached multi-page booklet containing useful information on both the product, the distillery, and the unique rebel-rousing packaging that harks back to the Prohibition days, when flasks were practically an essential commodity for drinkers of all social stripes and backgrounds, along with a half-dozen tempting cocktail recipes.

Not to be outdone, the 19 Crimes family of Australian wines uses the country’s s colonial past to embed interactive labels on the black 750-ml glass bottles with intriguing background stories of convicted criminals banished to Australia way back as punishment for one or more of the 19 crimes that earned such exile. Unlocked with a downloadable App, the little vignettes can be retrieved with a smartphone by

holding it close to the bottle, whereby the depicted characters virtually come to life to tell their unique cautionary tales. Hence, the 19 Crimes The Banished Park Red relates the story of a convict-turned-colonist James Wilson, whose fate was sealed upon being convicted for the heinous offence of “stealing fish from a pond or river,” as confirmed by the writing on the bottle’s cork closure. Each bottle comes with randomly-inserted corks listing all 19 o ences punishable with a one-way trip to Down Under, thus holding the consumer in suspense about what crime they will be toasting until uncorking the bottle. With the wine’s name playfully diplayed on the label like etchings on the wall of a jail cell, this dark-humored nod to Australia’s law-breaking origins is truly ingenious product di erentiation for the modern age, with the bottle’s boozy contents perfectly befitting a celebration of the continent’s rich and distinct murky past.
